“We face a challenge in Nigeria where people say that in Pool we are always betting. The truth of the matter is what is wrong with betting? After all we have betting companies everywhere now ,so, what we are doing is nothing different but with the intention that we are going to structure it so well that it comes into the main stream in Nigeria”

In encouraging Shehu Bamidele, the winner of the Nigeria Qualifiers. He said

“ If you believe that you will win that Tournament, you will win it. You need to understand that. We are all routing for you. You have all our support. We wish all the best and God’s speed”

“ In our days we never had the right structure that offered us this opportunity.First, this Nigeria Qualifier has offered us a rare opportunity for our great “prof”, Mr Wale Osomo to officially transfer the mantle of leadership to the next generation of great Snooker and Pool Players in line with international best practice. So, Shehu and the other players in the Nigeria Qualifier are the next and future generation of the sports”

“We will be doing everything possible to get your visa to enable you travel as you are expected to arrive china by the 20th June to participate in the main event”
